Default Wet Carpet in My RX 350

I just got back from a 2 hour drive in 80 degree heat. Sun roof open and air conditioner on (hey, its my money ). I noticed a smell coming from the interior of the vehicle. I then noticed that I had a wet spot on the carpet near the gas pedal. When I got hone, I removed the floor mat and discovered that the carpet was quite wet. The moisture was the source of the smell. I am assuming that this is condensation but didn't feel a drop on my leg or foot.

Anybody experience this?

Sunroof open? Sounds like the air conditioning was working extra hard. Similar to a refrigerator working extra hard if you leave the door open.

Well, being in Hawaii we often have the AC on full blast and at the lowest 60 degree temp. I've never experienced that before.
